Many pet owners consider their dog a member of the family.
When a pet loss occurs the owner can feel immense grief and sadness.
Many refer to their dog as "my baby" and after the loss, the grief can be comparable to losing a family member.
For those you care about, it is natural to want to do something for them but many people do not know what to do for someone who has lost a dog.
Sending a pet sympathy card is a great way to show your care and to send your condolences.
There are many card options to choose from.
The dog pet sympathy card can be as simple as drawing of the breed of dog on the front and blank inside for your written words.
Or, you can find delicately decorated cards with pre-written words of compassion and encouragement.
It is often hard to know what to say in a pet sympathy card.
Hand-written words can show you truly want to offer comfort and support.
Here is a suggestion that you can write and is appropriate for pet loss.
Dear (Pet Owner), I am so sorry for your loss.
(Dog's Name) was an amazing (dog).
I know how much (he/she) meant to you.
I know you two have been together for a very long time and (Pet's Name) was there for you through the most challenging experiences.
I know how much you loved (him/her).

With Sympathy, (Your Name) If you can remember a funny experience with the dog, it will mean a lot to the owner to reflect on that happy time.
